Agreed but the defense at the position was absolutely atrocious last year. Now that should improve with experience and if our pitchers could be less wild.


This. It was comical to watch the posters on this board downplay it all year until the starters began getting pulled. Was a glaring weakness from the beginning. Errors extend innings which extends pitching outings which equals disaster.

And he was garbage.
I said he wasn’t good.

He wasn't Bama's catcher either
He played in over 100 games, and started 98 at catcher for Bama.

South Carolina's catcher last year allowed 80 stolen bases in 94 attempts; thats less than 15% throwing out base stealers and people knew they could run on him


Stolen bases against is a team issue not a catcher issue. They were dogshit at holding on runners.

LSUs catching issues are fundamental.... Catching the ball, blkcking the ball. To me, the fix is to simplify things. So much emphasis on framing and 1 knee down which are important, but if you are failing to do the fundamentals like catch the balls that hit your glove and get in front of dirt balls, something needs to change.

Supposedly Mississippi St has 3 pitchers that are projected to be top 10 picks in the upcoming draft.

He didn't after 1 year. He left after 2.

No, he didn't. He started 39 games there as a junior and then split time as the second catcher in 2026.

2. Valincius and McPherson. Duke Stone is projected later in the first round.

That’s irrelevant to my point about the philosophy of allowing true freshmen catchers develop behind someone already on the roster. Jay went to the portal so Arrambide wasn’t thrown into the fire as an everyday starter.

So Alabama’s website of him starting 58 games as a senior is wrong and your handwritten notes are correct? Got it

He did start 58 games as a senior. But not at catcher. Are you retarded?

I've been saying that since they made Evans a starter. I got hammered for it! He is more effective as a closer.
